Here's Oblivion again but with a graphical overhaul mod pre-installed. That'll be $50 please!

Here's Oblivion again but with a graphical overhaul mod pre-installed. That'll be $50 please!

The original still holds up. I don't like how this practice is training people's brains to only accept hyper-realistic graphics. We're already seeing Last Of Us 2 remasters coming out every year... Do you really want to pay top dollar because now the walls have extra textures?

graphical overhaul mod

No mod is on its level it surpasses modded Skyrim in visuals quite easily

You couldn't pick any of the 10 oblivion threads on the catalog to make this point?

on paper, but aesthetically it looks bad

With how well the remaster is doing, Skyrim my anus Remastered is going to come out before the next proper Elder Scrolls entry, isn't it...

you're bigger concern should be you seem to be unaware that:

its free to pirate

you are not being forced to buy it

is this an autism thing?

training people's

Despite what the internet tells you I haven't seen a single real person not loving Disney live action remakes, my mom loved the new lion king and so did my colleagues

Hyper realism is king and everyone will hire that man

but aesthetically

it looks fucking generic and has that unreal shit stain

The original game is a piece of shit. It didn't even "hold up" the day it was released.
This remaster revamps all the models, textures, animations, and rebalances a lot of the shitty leveling and scaling jank that made the original unplayable and it's still not a great game.
The idea that the remake is lazy or poorly done while the original is a masterpiece that stands the test of time is fucking absurd and I will not entertain it.

The remake is honestly better from a gameplay standpoint. sprint is good. 25 agility needed for dodge instead of 50 is good. Dodge being remade to be less clunky is good.
The stat system and how it scales is still bad
The level scaling is still bad.
The barter system is still bad.
NPCs still look fucking weird, but more modernized.
Sprint and movement look weird.
Games still got this weird uncanny valley vibe despite being unreal 5 graphics
Its the same old oblivion with better graphics and slightly better gameplay in some areas. also they "cleaned up" the UI menu (and made it worse overall imo, wtf)

it frustrates the hell out of me how close bethesda games come to having good gameplay but then a few fundamental design desicions keep it from every being good. There were some positive changes with the remaster though.

fucking generic

Now you are criticising what has always been the core of TES with Morrowind being the sole exception. Orcs and elves, woods, mountains and castles, late-medieval fantasy with gothic architecture towns. No game has been as guilty of this "generic" style as Oblivion. They could have remade Morrowind and i fucking guarantee you it would have bombed because the setting, the world and the whole fucking game is just too weird. But Oblivion is very much arthurian and tolkien and that is a major draw.

Oblivion is a level-scaled generic dogshit, unplayable without gigantic overhauls like FCOM. DB questline was pretty much the only good thing about it.
Didn't play the remaster but it seems janky as fuck too.

Where is the jungle Todd?

no you're just a fucking idiot
none of the TES games look generic, they're visually distinct and unique from other games including each other

this remaster looks like any shitty unreal engine demo, it's insanely generic looking and at best looks like a mod for skyrim since they copied the UI elements and the devs have about as much talent as your average skyrim modder when it comes to textures(read: not at all talented)

rebalances a lot of the shitty leveling and scaling jank

It does no such thing. The scaling and levelling is still utterly retarded, they fixed a small part of it (you get the same points to allocate regardless of skills used, but mods existed for that anyway) and the rest of it required someone to port over multiple oblivion mods that fixed that shit.

stop posting this garbage, it makes the game look even worse you blind retard

Okay you don't have a problem with the model or texture quality and you don't like a reshade that makes it more colorful then what exactly are you so mad about?

calling a fucking retard a fucking retard isn't being mad, you fucking retard

The original still holds up.

no, it doesn't, there is no x64 version, shit crashes on modern hardware every hour and the toolset is obsolete as fuck
move on boomer

So you have no actual substantial criticism you literally are just mad. Gotcha.

The remake

minor correction to your statement, it's not a remake, it's a remaster, since it still uses assets from the original like the voiceover and engine

fucking retard got owned and is trying to salvage

Still not saying anything. Still just mad.

Do you really want to pay top dollar because now the walls have extra textures?

Yes, Morrowind will be next by the way and it will no longer be this underground sweaty cult classic, we are normies, we are coming for your childhood games, these games will no longer be a part of your personality and identity.

I sadly know people who won't touch an older game because it's "old". Ironically they had no issue picking up this remaster which is basically the exact same fucking game under the hood, just now it's far blurrier.

and they dosent include the international language,what is so retarded i can believe is, it is just copy paste nothing more.

it won't. the creator understand it leans too much towards an actual rpg for modern gaymers. people want arcadey slop like oblivion and Skyrim

I'm glad. I don't need another 50gb in audio files because they decided to recompress an efficient audio codec for voices into FLAC for some fucking reason.

you are fucking mentaly challenged, 5 GB for each language, thats it, How can you Breath when you are so mentaly retardet

5 GB for each language

That's the size of the original base game in its entirety. You don't see the problem?

The original still holds up

No.

If you think original Oblivion looks generic compared to other games I dont know what to tell you, you might just have a hateboner for bethesda in general lmao

none of the TES games look generic, they're visually distinct and unique from other games including each other

There was nothing unique about 1 & 2's aesthetic/setting for its era. The only real main thing Morrowind brought to the table was a vastly more detailed world with seamless terrain loading, compared to 90% of 3D titles of the time where everything was still rather rigid and static. Even NWN1 which came out a month later with a similar visual aesthetic felt dated in that regards.

The original still holds up

No it doesn’t. Both games are dogshit and doesn’t respect your time. Literally just play Skyrim instead

I'm actually surprised that a person with reading comprehension as low as you is able to navigate the internet.

and doesn’t respect your time

It literally has a fast travel built-in, with easy access to the main cities the second you exit the sewers.

I don't get why everyone with wrinkles looks so fucking dried up in the remaster. Did they hire interns to make materials who don't know what skin looks like?

I’m talking about the npc schedules. You will spend more time waiting for a specific npc to show up to their own house than actually playing the game

Guys i have a question.

Your character qualifies for an increase in character level after improving any combination of major Skills that you chose when you created your character, by a total of 10 points.

What happens if i cheese the game and improve my major skills to max by doing some random shit and NOT level uip ? Will i be successfully unnable to level up because all my major skills are maxed ?

Try it and see what happens

Bethesda has resold Skyrim 10x, so this was to expected.
And people love it too, proven again and again by how low the standards are proven by how Avowed exists and cost 200 millions...
And something about Veils... And guards... That I don't want to bring up.
Gaming is cooked.
Gamers are thristy retards.
Much wow, who knew?

Nobody loves Avowed or Veilguard though, they were objective failures

The game has a wait function.

That's the point.

The original still holds up.

Sometimes I think it does but then I remember I had to change my language to German to complete the quest to cure vampirism because it was bugged and uncompletable in English. I wonder if they fixed that

Levels get queued up. You'll level once every time you sleep.

”this npc wants to talk with you”

no waypoint

run around looking for their house

find it, they’re not there

wait 1 hour

nothing

wait another hour

nothing

try waiting until night

nothing (because the game expects you to know that they work at night and sleep in the morning)

try waiting until morning

nothing (because the game expects you to know that every Turdas, they will spend the whole day sitting on a bench on the other side of the city)

wait until the next day

they’re now at their house but they locked the door (hard lock)

forced to do the worst minigame in the entire franchise

finally get inside and talk to them

”I’ve been looking for you”

And people genuinely think this is better than quest markers

I am retarded and it's the games fault

Zoomers were a mistake

KYS boomer. You constantly bitch about not having enough time to play vidya, yet you only play shit like Oblivion
